696 Farewell and Arrival (8700 words)(1/4)
[Chapter serial·On Cloud 6·The trial of the swamp]
[I don’t know how long it’s been… Under the towering giant bean vines, I passed through one layer after another of island clouds, and in a swamp cloud, there was a person planted headfirst. Continue going down, in the swamp.
At the bottom of the cloud, Nirvana, the priest with a spider-claw hairstyle, bit his lips and rolled his eyes hard. Suddenly he realized, no wonder he couldn't see anything, it turned out that I was rolling my eyes! No wonder it was hard to breathe, it turned out that I was holding my breath!]
----------------------------------
"Ah~ open your mouth~"
The female jailer fed Heina a mouthful of soup. The latter expressed that she was ready and rubbed the female jailer's cheek. The female jailer left the cell with a rosy face and a large lunch box.
"It's rare for you kid to be here, why don't you eat a little?"
Heina bit her toothpick and leaned against the wall. Although her hands were still locked, she looked radiant and did not look like someone in jail at all.
She glanced at the little guy next to her.
Suddenly, this "little guy" opened his eyes. Haiina was startled, "What's wrong?"
"Someone is coming." Lynch said, looking up, as if he could see through the layers of the prison to the entrance. "They are all familiar people."
…
〖Propulsion City, entrance——〗
"It seems there is nothing wrong with the file..."
Warden Magellan went out to greet him in person. After receiving the document handed over by the blind swordsman, he quickly browsed through it and nodded when he saw the seal of the World Government and the signature of Dr. Vegapunk of the Science Force.
"Okay, come with me." Magellan turned around and led the way.
Deputy Warden Hannibal, who came out with him to pick up the guests, couldn't help but take a second look at the two people brought by the blind swordsman...
Hannibal was secretly surprised by the big bear in the Shichibukai. The blind swordsman didn't take it seriously. The fat man carrying the big ax frowned slightly and glanced at him. As for the big bear, he followed the blind swordsman and Zhan Momomaru expressionlessly.
Hannibal also quickly followed him back to the prison, and the door was slowly closed by the guards from inside.
The group entered the elevator and went straight down, passing through the red lotus hell on the first level under the sea, the beast hell on the second level under the sea, the hunger hell on the third level under the sea, the scorching hell on the fourth level under the sea, and the extreme cold hell on the fifth level under the sea...
…
Zhan Taowan was carrying a big ax and asked doubtfully: "I didn't hear many prisoners' screams... Are the execution methods in your prison too gentle?"
Hannibal was a little unhappy at the side and retorted: "It's obvious that our big prison has made these scum of society no longer have the strength to cry! What do you, a fat guy, know?"
Magellan shouted: "Hannibal."
"Ah! Yes, I want to be the warden - ah, no, I'm rude." Hannibal said his ambition inadvertently.
Zhan Taowan chuckled from the side: "As the most tight-lipped man in the world, I despise you."
"..." Hearing that the two were about to bicker again, the blind swordsman suddenly spoke, "We are here."
Bang, the elevator finally reaches the end.
He clearly couldn't see... Hannibal looked at the blind swordsman's back as he came out with his staff, secretly speechless.
What a powerful sight and domineering power... Magellan followed him out, but before he could lead the way, he saw the blind swordsman lighting up the wooden staff and walking stick as he headed straight towards the cell where Lynch was being held.
Da da da……
The sound of clogs echoed in the corridor of the deathly silent sixth-floor prison on the sea floor, quickly approaching his side - and finally, as expected, a group of people stopped in front of their cell.
Magellan brought it here personally?
Heina glanced at the people outside the cell fence. In addition to Magellan and Hannibal, there was a blind swordsman in purple robes, a fat boy with a red bellyband, and a tall, expressionless man wearing a hat.
The soft hat with bear ears is quite cute.
Can he sense the entrance to a prison in a ghost place like this?
Even a veteran like Haiina couldn't help but be secretly surprised at this moment. How far has this kid Lin Qi developed his knowledge and skills in these years?
It's so quiet that it's not normal... Zhan Momowan glanced diagonally across from him. Is that the sand crocodile that was caught in Alabasta some time ago?
"After more than ten years of separation, your strength is far beyond what it was before."
The blind swordsman looked at the man beside the wall inside the cell. The man raised his head, opened his eyes and stared at him - the tall figure behind him.
Zhan Taowan also looked at Lin Qi in the cell, "I thought you were dead a long time ago, but I didn't expect that you were secretly locked up in a big prison and turned into such a miserable state! The guy next to you
This woman is also the former Shichibukai, Laut Heina, right?"
"Little fat man, don't be wrong. I was once a Shichibukai, it's true. This kid has never been one! Hahaha..."
Haina said with a smile, "Besides...it's just the Shichibukai. There are more than one or two Shichibukai locked up in this floor."
"Lin Qi, don't you have anything to say?" Magellan said solemnly, "They took the approval document from the World Government and took King Shichibuhai to Bartholomew. Bear to find your whereabouts and specially see you! I
I think you and Big Bear were once friends."
The blind swordsman sighed with emotion: "I think this must be because...he has already seen something in the big bear."
What does this mean? There is a question mark over Magellan and Hannibal's heads.
"He...is not a big bear..."
Lin Qi stared at the tall, expressionless figure behind the blind swordsman, "Bring my friend's body to me... You want to die, don't you..."
No! The blind swordsman was shocked and wanted to warn him, but it was already too late.
As Lin Qi's eyes condensed, an invisible force burst out from his sight.
boom!!!
An invisible and violent power swept out from the cell, and Hannibal stumbled back repeatedly. He was covered in cold sweat, his eyes turned white, and he half-knelt on the ground.
The two of them were shocked. What is this? Is he looking domineering? He is wearing sea tower stone handcuffs and has been imprisoned for so many years - how can he be so powerful?!
Thick black lightning shot out from the cell and collided with the bamboo blade drawn by the blind swordsman in the air. Bang!
Ta, under the huge pressure, the blind swordsman's clogs couldn't help but take half a step back. He shouted low, and the blade was instantly wrapped with rich black domineering energy. With a "Dang!" sound, this wisp of "Overlord" pressed down.
"Color" will be cut off.
"Huchi..."
A thin layer of sweat appeared on the wrinkled face of the blind swordsman. Part of it was to resist Lynch's overbearing attack from the air, and the other part was simply frightened. He really didn't expect that Lynch would have such a sudden attack.
I also didn't expect that Lynch's strength would be so unexpected. - In the blind swordsman's perception, the aura of the great warden Magellan next to him was also very thick, and he was obviously also separated by Lynch's overlord's color.
Sora was shocked.
"I admire your Excellency's strength." The blind swordsman sheathed the sword in the bamboo, sat down at the door of the cell, put on a sincere posture, and said in a deep voice, "However, this trip is not intended for fighting. Please listen, Your Excellency.
It’s over, it’s not too late to talk again…”
Lin Qi looked at the people outside the cage coldly. He said nothing, but Haiina asked doubtfully: "Corpse? What does this mean?"
Don't say she didn't understand. Magellan, who looked serious, and Hannibal, who was pale and sweaty with cold sweat, were also very depressed. Didn't they bring a living bear? Why did Lynch see it as a corpse?
The blind swordsman sighed: "You can point out the word 'corpse', I think you have indeed seen something... Yes, the 'big bear' who came with the two of me is not a living thing. It is the seven-year-old
The cybernetic weapon that Wu Hai supports for his body... is called the 'Pacifist PX-1'."
Zhan Momowan wiped his sweat and pulled down the collar of the "big bear" next to him, revealing the words "PX-1" on the side of his neck. Magellan, Hannibal and Heina couldn't help but frown when they saw it.
"Okay, don't explain whether these things are there or not..." Lin Qi was too lazy to get angry with these people, "If you have any questions, let it go."
"..." The blind swordsman pondered for a moment.
Zhan Momomaru couldn't help but said: "It was the real Big Bear who asked us to bring him here. - And he himself is undergoing the final transformation from Dr. Vegapunk.
"Since then, there has been no such person as Big Bear.
"He will lose all personality and self-awareness and become 'Pacifist PX-0'."
Lin Qi looked at the little fat man coldly. Zhan Taowan only muttered in his heart, if this guy who was sitting in jail as if he was mentally disturbed were to strike him from a distance, he wouldn't have the strength to block it in time.
…
"Before undergoing the final transformation, Big Bear left a recording."
The blind swordsman sitting in front of the cage said slowly, "He probably couldn't find anyone he knew to trust, so he thought of you. You haven't heard from you in the past ten years. He probably thinks that you are not dead, and he trusts the World Government to
Find you... So, he asked Dr. Vegapunk to give this recording to PX-1, and then he would be responsible for recording this recording - that is, Bartholomew Bear's last words, read to you
listen."
The low voice echoed in the corridor of this huge prison. The sand crocodile in the prison diagonally opposite opened his eyes, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking.
Haina looked at Lin Qi. Lin Qi had no expression and raised his eyes to look at PX-1 behind the blind swordsman. Zhan Momomaru said: "PX-1, let's play."
Beep beep, after receiving the order, the pacifist PX-1, which looks exactly like the big bear, started to move. The red light flashed in its eyes, and there seemed to be the sound of electricity passing through and data jumping. Not long after, he was in Magellan, Hannibal, and Hay.
In the surprised eyes of Na and others, a low mechanical sound slowly came out. This sound did not seem to be entirely that of Bartholomew Bear, but also included the ambient sound when he recorded these last words. It seemed that
It's a laboratory, because there is a slight noise of something running.
"I am Bartholomew Bear..."
PX-1 made a sound from his mouth. His mouth was still moving, but the sound suddenly paused for a long time. Obviously, this part of the recording was "empty". After the recording of Big Bear himself said the first sentence of self-introduction, he fell into a short pause.
silence.
To be continued...
